Supply of Nuclear Power Facilities to India
India has a well-developed and diversified indigenous nuclear power programme. In addition, pursuant to the September 2008 NSG decision, India is pursuing civil nuclear cooperation with key partners such as Canada, France, Kazakhstan, Russia and the US. Membership of the NSG would place our existing cooperation on a predictable basis and facilitate the enhanced investments, industrial tie ups and technology access required to accelerate augmentation of nuclear power capacity in India.
Indias civil nuclear cooperation agreements with the US and France are in full compliance with NSG Guidelines. Progress continues to be made under these agreements.
India and Australia have concluded an Agreement on Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy which entered into force in November 2015. The agreement promotes cooperation whereby Australia can play the role of a long-term supplier of uranium to India.
India and Canada have also concluded an Agreement on Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy which is already in force. During the visit of the Prime Minister to Canada (April 14-16, 2015), an Agreement between the Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India and M/s CAMECO of Canada was signed for long-term supply of uranium to India to meet its energy needs. Uranium shipments under this Agreement have begun.
The Minister of State for the External Affairs Gen. Dr. V. K. Singh (Retd.) provided this information in reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
